```cs

var chromecast = chromecasts.First();

var client = new ChromecastClient();

await client.ConnectChromecast(chromecast);

_ = await client.LaunchApplicationAsync("B3419EF5");

var media = new Media

{

	ContentUrl = "https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/CastVideos/mp4/DesigningForGoogleCast.mp4"

## Adding support for custom chromecast channels

 * In Chrome, go to `chrome://net-export/`

 * Select 'Include raw bytes (will include cookies and credentials)'

 * Click 'Start Logging to Disk'

 * Open a new tab, browse to your favorite application on the web that has Chromecast support and start casting.

 * Go back to the tab that is capturing events and click on stop.

 * Open https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/ and select your event log file.

 * Browse to https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#events&q=type:SOCKET, and find the socket that has familiar JSON data.

 * Go through the results and collect the JSON that is exchanged.

 * Now you can create a new class that inherits from ChromecastChannel and implement the logic to send and receive messages.
